BREAKING: I’m supporting Ausma Malik in Spadina-Fort York. I’ve also volunteered to be the spokesperson for signs. This ward is famously bad for signs since so few people have a front lawn… so prove that I screwed up when I ordered the minimum print run. Get your sign! Ausma.ca/sign

New Ontario polling we did finds a pretty clear preference for local decision-making. 64% say municipalities should decide where bike lanes are located on local roads. That’s the majority view in every region of Ontario. sharetheroad.ca/news/64-of-...

There are many fantasy TTC subway maps online, but only one is politically feasible.

There was a TTC staff person just standing at the station exit wishing everyone a good morning. Sir, I’m charmed.

I believe, from the balls of my feet to the top of my head, that this result is entirely due to the presence of unhoused and/or people in crisis on the subway and the way in which this relatively small problem has been ginned up by Toronto haters (one of which has the temerity to want to lead us).

Look at this chart of how Canadians perceive Toronto as one of the most unsafe cities in the country when statistically it's among the safest
A chart via https://storage.ghost.io/c/5a/2c/5a2c6702-fc8c-4232-bdc0-33fad8d71a80/content/files/2026/09/Safe-and-Unsafe-Cities-2026.pdf

Toronto is an extreme outlier on this X-Y chart of Canadian cities - it's near the top for perceived lack of safety but also among the safest for actual safety

Wake up, babe. The Prime Minister just dropped “hydronym”.
The name Lake Ontario comes from the Wendat word Ontari’io, which, appropriately, means “the lake is beautiful, the lake is big”.

The name is more than 400 years old, predating both the Confederation of Canada and the Declaration of Independence of the United States of America.

We know that America is changing. Their trading relationships, their foreign policies, their national monuments, their hydronyms. 

Canadians also know that naming reality means calling it Lake Ontario – then, now and always.

Sometimes your boss is like “quick tell me a fun fact about Lacrosse!” and so you just go off about the Haudenosaunee’s ongoing planned exclusion from the LA 2028 Olympics and your boss just turns to you and says “I need something I can say to a youth camp.” Oh, uh — “teamwork!”

The fact Doug Ford is willing to sabotage High Speed Rail because the Feds won’t give him his island airport proves he never cared about transportation, connectivity, or economic development. So what does he really want, and on whose behalf?

Why exactly is this airport valuable? How exactly does it contribute to the local economy while carrying 4% of passengers? No one can ever say. It’s vibes upon vibes. The airport itself can’t even cook up a plausible economic impact statement. www.thestar.com/business/tor...

Toronto business community 'disappointed' Billy Bishop jet expansion isn't moving forward
Business groups call Ottawa decision to halt expansion for jets a missed opportunity that could leave the downtown airport on 'borrowed time.'

As someone who’s used Billy Bishop Airport several times, I have to say this: It would be much better if it were a park.
